Fern Circle Stables and Three Chimneys Farm, LLC

Fern Circle Stables is owned by American billionaire Paul Fireman. Fireman bought the U.S distribution rights to Reebok shoes in 1979 and built that company into an industry leader before selling it to Adidas in 2005 for $3.8 billion. He now owns Fireman Capital Partners, a private equity firm.

Fireman and his wife, Phyllis, have three children and live near Boston. Together they co-founded the Paul and Phyllis Fireman Family Foundation, one of Massachusetts' largest private foundations.

Three Chimneys Farm is one of the leading Thoroughbred breeding operations in Central Kentucky. The Midway, Ky. farm was founded by Robert and Blythe Clay more than 40 years ago and oversaw prominent stallions such as Seattle Slew, Dynaformer, and Rahy. The Borges Torrealba family in November 2013 acquired a controlling interest in Three Chimneys. Gonçalo Borges Torrealba serves as its chairman. Three Chimneys currently stands six stallions, including champion Will Take Charge and 2013 Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice. Three Chimneys bought ownership stakes in both of these horses while they were still racing.
